hi, this is probably a weee bit early for some ppl, but im waiting til end of this month to ttc (the desperation, brooding over other peoples babies and feeling jealous of pregnant women , thinking of names and waiting 2 symptom spot kicks in)
so come along and join the journey to motherhood!

Dear all, still clinging to this bus but reckon I'll be catching a new one tomorrow. Getting to the stage where I'm wondering what more we can do?

Continue to get BFNs, and have no reason to believe that AF won't appear as normal.

Any other passengers still on board? :)

Daisybell1 · 18/01/2011 14:36

FX Wombat!

Hope you're hurling in a bucket very soon Grin

edwardcullensotherfairy · 18/01/2011 13:18

Happy new year ladies! (sorry it's a bit late, I've ben preoccupied recently hunting for tents and holiday destinations for this year since christmas!)
I'm still hoping to stay on the September bus, I notice not many are left (sorry haven't fully updated on the thread, but congrats to everyone with BFPs) I've been symptom spotting for 2 days - I feel "different" which alo happened with DS, been up to pee in the night/early morning which I NEVER do, boobs are a bit sore and lookig fuller, and randomly feel sick and have butterfles in my stomach. Been using OPK but no positives on them this month, hoping that's a good thing though :) Fingers crossed!Grin

Wombat33 · 18/01/2011 10:07

Thanks Bumps! I get my blood test results back hopefully this afternoon (possibly not until tomorrow) so we will see. Though my doc has only done one blood test, not two a couple of days apart, so quite how much reassurance I'm going to get from one result I don't know. Apparently when he sees the result of this one he may order a second test - but that would be nearly a week later... by my calculations i'm now actually 6 weeks (as opposed to 6 wks by LMP) and actually, I'm feeling like my sypmtoms might be returning... really hope it's not my body playing cruel tricks on me!! Time will tell.

Good morning to everyone else out there this morning!

Bumpsadaisie · 17/01/2011 20:33

Wombat

FWIW I had horrendous morning sickness with DD until 15 weeks - but even in my case (at the extreme end of the symptom spectrum) it had only just started to kick in at 6 weeks. I was still at work and just starting to feel bad ...

I think its common to feel nothing at all at your stage.

ravenlocks · 17/01/2011 17:41

Not tested yet English, plan on doing that tomorrow if AF hasn't arrived by then. Changed my AF due date (to tomorrow) at FF's insistance on when I ovd. I am not 100% convinced when I ovulated but then I did get some good advice on the charters' thread which did lead me to believe FF a bit more.

I have no symptoms and can't imagine it is my month this month.

Daisybell1 · 17/01/2011 16:52

And I hope you're feeling very green and queasy soon too Grin

Yes, the Young Farmers was an interesting experience - I wouldn't have been wanting to be feeling green and queasy at the time!

Wombat33 · 17/01/2011 16:49

Daisy it makes perfect sense and I'm hoping you're right! I'll have known I'm pg for 3 weeks on Thursday yet I'm actually only just 6 weeks today. Here's hoping it all kicks in soon!

YF jokes sound lovely Hmm

Daisybell1 · 17/01/2011 16:35

Wombat will be thinking of you tomorrow, its so difficult/impossible not to worry, isn't it?

Thinking about symptoms or the lack of them, (and I really don't know what I'm talking about here!) but maybe because we test so early when we're TTC we expect to have symptoms straight away?

If we weren't trying/charting etc etc, we may only be thinking now "ooh, I'm really late", rather than having known about being PG for what feels like years, when its only 10 days in my case, and then thinking about all the symptoms we're having. Does this make sense?

I'm certainly not symptom-riddled either - tired in the evenings (but that's easily explained by knackeredness), occasionally queasy, and a bit grumpy (also explained by having to put up with an evening of Young Farmers poo and sick jokes - nice!)

Does this make any sense at all????? Confused

Wombat33 · 17/01/2011 15:54

Thanks Daisy. I'm feeling slightly more sane than I was (a weekend of TLC from DH works wonders!) but still trying not to get my hopes up too much for tomorrow/Weds. If I concentrate really really hard I think maybe I might be able to muster a bit of queasiness after I've eaten and my boobs are slightly sore (though still flat as pancakes!) but I can't help thinking that after a week of nothing and at 6 wks pg now I should be feeling more. We'll see. I'm hoping beyond hope to be proved wrong in my fears!!

How are you feeling today?

Daisybell1 · 17/01/2011 15:14

Hi there Wombat

How are you feeling today? FX for (?)tomorrow

Wombat33 · 17/01/2011 10:31

Morning all. Sorry to hear that AF has arrived for some of you over the weekend but congrats to the new BFPs!

EnglishCountryGirl · 17/01/2011 07:19

Temp dropped this morning, so expecting AF today or tomorrow. As such, going to drop off this bus and join the Oct bus, but will hang around to see how everyone who is left gets on!

dietcokes · 17/01/2011 00:02

Just to say I'm still around but being a naughty girl and testing early.

TheCake · 16/01/2011 23:21

Just got back from Paris and my AF arrived on my birthday! (yesterday). At least 34 days is more of a normal cycle than 45! Will prob hop over to the oct bus in the next few days but just lurking at the bus stop at the moment. Goodnight all x

EnglishCountryGirl · 16/01/2011 23:08

Monkey - Yes, fingers crossed that it's still too early. Still a couple of days to go, so still time...

EnglishCountryGirl · 16/01/2011 23:07

Sorry to hear the bad news MrsH and gimmegimmegimme - Hope you have better luck on the Oct bus. I may well see you there soon!

ravenlocks - How are you getting on? Have you tested yet?

Not many of us left on the bus now!

Sorry MrsH, hope you feel better and have more luck next cycle.

Congrats darlingred!

monkey let's hope too early - very possible if AF not due til Weds.

monkeyblonde · 16/01/2011 18:59

Hey English yep, BFNs all round still - keep telling myself that it's too early. Let's hope so!

Last week I praised myself for how laid-back I was being this month, now look at me.

darlingred · 16/01/2011 17:33

Hi Everyone,can i join the september bus?

I have been lurking on MN since Aug. My DH and I decided to start trying to conceive then after nearly ten years of marriage,tested yesterday and got a BFP.

I didn,t believe previous threads when people say they are shocked they have finally got a BFP but it's true. That's how I feel just now.

MrsHende · 16/01/2011 17:28

I'm off ladies.

AF arrived yesterday. Absolutely gutted.

Lots and lots of luck to the rest of you, I dearly hope to see none of you on the October bus.

ravenlocks · 16/01/2011 13:30

Hi everyone!

Sorry to see you go Teds, hope the back pain got better. Did you decide to go to the GP? Good luck with that and see you on Oct bus very probably!

I am still hanging in there for Sept with my fingernails.

Hope you girls are managing to resist POAS and driving yourself mad. Have't tested yet myself, am on 11DPO. But am slowly going mad and not sleeping very well cox of thinking about TTC!

Updated the list. Who is left? Should I put some of the ladies past their AF date that we haven't heard from in a while on MIA?

Sorry to hear you are leaving our bus Teds77, but good luck on the October bus - I might be joining you soon, so save me a seat! And glad to hear your blood test was normal MrsHende.

I've also had increasing nausea, but still BFN, so I think you must be right Monkey that it's just nerves. How are you getting on? Are you still getting BFNs?

Going to try to take it less seriously next month - no more testing/temping every day, just for the few days in the middle - but we will see if I manage to stick to my resolution!

Teds77 · 16/01/2011 12:17

Congrats Tweedpig.

AF arrived like clockwork this morning so I'm off the bus. Hope there are a few more BFPs before this bus reaches the depot!
